Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Emergency departments (EDs) experience significant challenges with staff retention.
  • Nurses in EDs are at high risk for compassion fatigue, burnout, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
  • The demanding nature of emergency care involves constant exposure to illness, trauma, and death.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the psychological toll on emergency nurses.
  • To explore the role of professional passion in mitigating negative mental health outcomes.
  • To understand factors contributing to poor staff retention in emergency nursing.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study exploring nurses' experiences in emergency departments.
  • Interviews and thematic analysis to identify key stressors and coping mechanisms.
  • Assessment of the relationship between professional passion and psychological well-being.

Main Results:

  • Nurses frequently experience emotional exhaustion and secondary traumatic stress.
  • While passion is a motivator, it is often insufficient to counteract severe occupational stressors.
  • Burnout and PTSD symptoms are prevalent, contributing to high turnover rates.

Conclusions:

  • The demanding environment of emergency nursing poses significant risks to mental health.
  • Professional passion alone cannot fully sustain nurses against pervasive burnout and trauma.
  • Strategies to support emergency nurses' well-being are crucial for improving staff retention.
